Hi!
I'm running a kernel 2.4.24 with patch acpi-20040211-2.4.24. Generaly, this
seems to work. I.e., I can do this:
echo 2004-02-22 15:00:00 >/proc/acpi/alarm
echo 5 >/proc/acpi/sleep
As expected, the computer will start up at the given time.
But when I shutdown with "shutdown -h 0" instead of "echo 5 >/proc/acpi/sleep",
the computer will not wakeup at the programmed time.
I've disabled APM with "apm=off" as kernel parameter, so I thought shutdown
should use ACPI to switch to S5, shouldn't it?
Any ideas what I did wrong or what I might have missed?
Thanks,
Tobias

hi len,
i tried to file the bug report with no success...
first it was too long, and then i kept getting "internal server error"
from the bugzilla server, until i quit.
i have the whole post backed up on my desktop, so i can send it directly
to you... or you can suggest something else.

There is at least one problem for which I don't think that you will have
S3 working even in the near future.
You do have a radeon 9700 and due to lack of supports by ATI those days,
I don't see how a developper can include power management codes in any
drivers other than by a cycle of guess, then try and guess again what
happens on errors.
Note that S3 may work though if you do not have AGPGART compiled,
and you do not use any kind of binary-only drm drivers from ATI.

Hello,
Sound is not working with my SuSE Linux 9.0 with 2.4.21-166-athlon
on an ASUS A7V600-F (FSB333).
I found the following messages in 'dmesg'
ACPI: Unable to set IRQ for PCI Interrupt Link [LNKH] (likely buggy
ACPI BIOS, please report to acpi-devel!)
...
IRQ routing conflict for 00:10.0, have irq 5, want irq 3
...
ALSA via82xx.c:520: codec_valid: codec 0 is not valid [0xfe0000]
Last one probably means that the kernel can't contact sound chip
I packed all Information into a tar ball as supposed for a
bugzilla entry, but want to avoind sending 22K to the list.
I didn't find an entry in bugzilla related to this here.
What shall I do? Shall I post a report?

I am new to ACPI but I have searched the archives, looked at the MAN
pages used Google to the best of
my abilities and I still have some questions about ACPI. My basic goal
is to be able
to suspend my desktop machine to S3 when not in use. I need to use the
machine several times throughout the day, and feel it is a waste to leave
it on continuously. The system spec are: Intel D875PBZ, Intel P4 3GHZ,
Radeonm 9700 pro, Sounblaster Live, Debian unstable with 2.4.23 and
2.6.2 kernels available, both with ACPI compiled as modules. Pressing
the power button once gracefully shuts down the machine running either
kernel.
After reading the documentation, I am still not sure how to try to
suspend to S3. Is there anyone with this motherboard succesfully using
S3 suspend? Is it reliable and stable, suspend after suspend.
Is S3 suspend with Linux on the desktop the Holy Grail of ACPI? The
machines suspends to S3 in Windows 2000 Pro, also shuts all the fans
down too, totally silent.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Can anyone recommend any Pentium 3/4 desktop motherboard that will S3
reliably in Linux?
If this is not possible yet, are there any other Linux hardware problems
where S3 works reliably?

Hi,
I trying to use ACPI for linux in a Asus MotherBoard (P4P800) but I am
unable to use thermal and fan the only ACPI that works is Buttons if I
cat /proc/acpi/event and press the power button it gives up a message,
but under /thermal_zone and /fan there is nothing... The BIOS from this
MB says that it is ACPI 2.0 enabled, but as I sayd before I cannot use ACPI.
Can anyone tell me if it is possibel to use? If /button woks, why
/thermal_zone or /fan does not?
thaks

ASUS L3800C, rest pretty much the same.

In my case, acpi_sleep=s3_bios is enough. If that doesn't work, you may try
the new radeonfb driver from 2.6.3 -- on my box it *at least* manages to
get the backlight on without having to pass acpi_sleep, but then it screws
up some other things so the laptop gets locked anyway.

Unfortunately there is no such option in BIOS for Dell Latitude D600.

I am not sure exactly what is needed; X is able to POST (using int10?). I
haven't looked at X code, but is that using real mode?
